World-renowned composers Hans Zimmer and James Howard Newton are deeply philosophical in their discussion of creating the music behind one of the biggest blockbusters of 2008, The Dark Knight, especially one of the most notable characters – The Joker, as played by Heath Ledger. Today, the award-winning composers joined host Jason Bentley for an interview on MBE, which is now available in the KCRW.com archives with a transcript.

Tim Sale Tile

My first introduction to comic book artist Tim Sale was through the Pop Candy blog on USA Today. He is best known these days for his work on the TV series “Heroes” and was just on a Comic-Con panel about the show. He has also worked on some of the most iconic comic characters of all time, including Batman, Superman, Spider-Man and the Hulk. His set includes one of the greatest guitarists of all time, his code song for finishing a comic and a heart breaking song by the Boss. Check it out here  

His new comic book series is called Captain America: White. It is the fourth in a series of Marvel retro books that him and partner Jeph Loeb began in 2000, the other three being Daredevil:Yellow, Spider-Man: Blue, and Hulk: Grey.The book debuts in earnest in the late fall/winter with issue one, but there is a zero (preview) edition available right now in comics stores nationwide.

p.s.: Eric J Lawrence is a big comic book fan and brought in a box of them. Tim kindly signed a few and Eric did his best to hide his excitement
